Recycled Fashion: IKEA Bag dress made by parsons professor

I love Ikea hacker for so many reasons the first of which is that its hands on DIY madness that allows you to turn cheap furniture into functional less cheap looking stuff. This parsons professor turned the Ikea take home bag and created this nifty dress. Its not funtional but it makes you think dont it?

She says, “I fashioned the top of the bag and one handle as the neckline and halter for the top of the dress. Then I cut open the seams of the rest of the bag to make a backless, A-Line outfit. I sewed darts in the front and back to be shapely for my bust and back. I cut the long handles off of two more bags to create ties for the back of the dress. Waterproof and ready to tote!
